Biography

One of the most controversial standup comics since Lenny Bruce, Andrew "Dice" Clay has brought the vulgar comedy of hatred, obscenity, and misogyny to new lows or new highs, depending on one's age and feelings about such subjects. His black leather jacketed, cigarette-puffing "Diceman" persona was so raunchy and offensive that he was banned from performing on the MTV network and was eventually blackballed in Hollywood after his obscene performances caused 20th Century Fox to tear up their movie contract with him, despite that fact that he was filling up clubs and even Madison Square Gardens with fans. Before obtaining notoriety as a comic, Clay (born Andrew Clay Silverstein) was a promising young actor. He made his film debut in Wacko (1981) and appeared in a few more films during the early '80s. At the peak of his standup career, Clay resumed his film career as well as numerous television appearances. But as time passed, Clay's act went beyond mere boundary pushing. This coupled with his absolute refusal to apologize or admit that maybe the Diceman had gone too far led to his downfall. Following his fall from grace in Hollywood, Clay moved his wife and two boys to Florida for a couple years where he ran a Gold's Gym and underwent therapy. When he next reappeared, Clay had dropped "Dice" from his name (a contract stipulation from the CBS network) and was starring in the sitcom Bless This House (1995) opposite Cathy Moriarty. Billed as a family show patterned after The Honeymooners, it had none of the hallmarks of Clay's act. In interviews with Clay at this time, he swore that the "Diceman" was just an act, that he never meant any of the horrible things he'd said on-stage; he was only trying to be funny. He also said he would focus on a broader type of relationship comedy. His resolve to clean up barely lasted to the series' demise eight months later and soon Clay was exuberantly preparing for a new raunch-fest on the HBO network. By 1997, he seemed to have mended his rift with MTV, which co-starred him in Hitz, a sitcom airing on the UPN network.

His first wife is Kathleen Swanson, whom he wed in 1984 and divorced in 1986. He called his two years of matrimony a "horror show". His second wife is Kathleen Monica -- he calls her Trini, and he has been married to her since 1992. The two met while he was on location filming the Chicago Episodes of Crime Story, she was his waitress in a restaurant that he was at. He has two sons with her Max, who was born in 1990 and Dylan, who was born in 1994. His first son is named after the character he played on Crime Story, Max Goldman.

Has been managed by his father Fred for most of his career.

Even after he made enormous amounts of money with his "Diceman" act he decided to live in his hometown borough of Brooklyn for a number of years.

He now resides somewhere in New Jersey, the hometown of his current wife.

Clay's Diceman character is modeled after Jerry Lewis's character Buddy Love from the film, "The Nutty Professor".

His trademark "Ooh!" is sampled in the popular dance club song "Unbelievable" by EMF.

Was the first and only person banned for life from MTV, for using foul language during the live broadcast of the music awards. The ban was subsequently lifted.
